Over 2 million packages are delivered in NYC every day. The current delivery infrastructure relies on large trucks that cause street congestion, pollution, and safety risks. Our project aims to reimagine package transport on an efficient, resilient delivery e-cycle platform, designed in parallel with an integrated last-mile delivery hub. This facility specifically accomodates e-cycle delivery vehicles and incorporates design feedback from community members. The vehicle employs a lightweight folding modular cart that protects cargo and facilitates faster loading. Additionally, we tested the viability of installing a regenerative braking system on the cycle trailer.
